Jesus, I've forgotten the words that You have spoken Promises that burned within my heart have now grown dim With a doubting heart I follow the paths of earthly wisdom Forgive me for my unbelief Renew the fire again Lord have mercy Christ have mercy Lord have mercy on me I have built an altar where I worship things of men I have taken journeys that have drawn me far from You Now I am returning to Your mercies ever flowing Pardon my transgressions Help me love You again I have longed to know You and Your tender mercies Like a river of forgiveness ever flowing without end I bow my heart before You in the goodness of Your presence Your grace forever shining Like a beacon in the night
